It was very good to see everyone who was able to attend the CWHOA Annual Meeting held on Wednesday, June 13 at Visitation School.  Councilman Jack Evans provided an overview of key issues and initiatives being addressed by the DC City Council, there as an opportunity to meet two members of the Gates Hudson Community Management Team which has property management responsibility for the Cloisters West community as of June 1 and two new Board members were elected: Ilana Golant and Fei Wang. 

The Board also provided a video of the CW Community in action. Click on the link: CWHOA_Annual_Meeting_Invitation_1080p.mp4 for a 60-second sample of the full presentation made at the Annual Meeting.

To the Cloisters West Community:

The CWHOA Board is pleased to announce that two new members have been appointed to the Board, pursuant to Article IV, Section 3 of our Bylaws, to serve out the unexpired terms created by two vacancies.

Sharon Eblaghie Bahador will serve on the Board for the term expiring on June 30, 2018 and Anna Delligatti will serve on the Board for the term expiring on June 30, 2019.

Sharon and her family moved from Christchurch, New Zealand to Washington, DC almost six years ago. They lived in our neighboring community to the east, Cloisters in Georgetown, and loved the area so much that when it was time to move last year, they moved only 10 houses away to Cloisters West.

Sharon is married to Babak Bahador and they have two daughters, Carmel and Ellie. Prior to Board service Sharon has been an active member of our CW Social Committee, the hardworking group that organized our neighborhood Autumn Party and our Holiday Party.

Anna has lived in DC since 2002, after attending law school. She moved with her husband, Paul, and five year old daughter, Eugenia, to Cloisters West last year. Currently, she practices law part-time, and serves as co-president of the Friends of Volta Park Board and as Chair of our CW Projects Committee, which is exploring new mailboxes and enhanced lighting for our community. 

We are pleased to welcome them both to the Board.

The now five-member Board has organized itself along the following lines:

Sonia Crow, President
Arlene Turner, Vice President
Anna Delligatti, Secretary
Paul Ehrhardt, Treasurer
Sharon Eblaghie Bahador, Liaison to the Covenants Committee
